context_page_description: St. Martin and St. Nicholas Cathedral, or simply known as Bydgoszcz Cathedral, is a Catholic church built in the 15th century. It has a Gothic style, serves as a parish church and cathedral of the Diocese of Bydgoszcz. It also houses a shrine dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Its address is 10 Farna Street.
  It is the most valuable architectural monument of the Old Town, standing on the Brda riverside. It has been elevated as a cathedral on March 25, 2004, by decision of then Pope John Paul II. Since November 3, 1960, the cathedral has been registered on the Kuyavian-Pomeranian heritage list.
context_section_description: After the incorporation of Bydgoszcz into the Second Polish Republic territory in 1920, the parish was divided into five smaller ones, relieving the church of the too many number of faithfuls: in 1924 the parish covered 100 thousand people. From 1922 to 1926, church interiors were completely restored, on the initiative of the then parish priest, Father Tadeusz Skarbek-Malczewski: 
  walls and vaults were covered with polychrome motifs executed by Henryk Jackowski-Nostitz, on a design by Stefan Cybichowski (1923–1924);
  stained glass were installed;
  on the main altar, a meticulous restoration of the Virgin Mary with the Rose was carried out.
